Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Cross product do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. JohnBlackburne wordsdeeds 18:47, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Simple harmonic motion. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. JohnBlackburne wordsdeeds 19:59, 29 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Broken, malformed, and/or protected, and otherwise inaccessible link spam such as parts of this, is even more unnerving to worldwide readers. I concur with JohnBlackburne. Cuzkatzimhut (talk) 20:43, 29 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Actually, some of their off-wiki illustrations are pretty good. If they want them here (having the opposition), they can upload their illustrations in wikispace (under appropriate copyright license) and include like  here. My very best wishes (talk) 22:09, 29 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Well, simply compare the (deleted) gears posted in Functional composition to the extant and surviving contribution from the Wolfram project, and decide if the gears work, both literally and metaphorically. On a mac Book they fail to open meaningfully, and on a linux system, they snag and sputter, and add no insight to that article. I really don't think it is nice to the reader to be subjected to them.

 * I had a look at one and saw a near empty page with an option to load a plugin, which would probably bring my machine to its knees being nearly full screen; both the poor presentation and the requirement for a plugin makes them bad links. Going round doing nothing but adding links to articles is spamming and should not be done even if the links are of high quality which these aren't.-- JohnBlackburne wordsdeeds 17:02, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
